This mural is painted on the south wall of a two-story vacant building which faces N. Harley Street, west of the Santa Fe Depot. The signature appears to read "Maine '97".
The mural is unusual as it is painted in grays and black. The depiction of the depot, people and horses and buggies is without much detail, and because of weather damage over the years, you can barely pick out the scene which is of the nearby depot, with many people milling about and horses and buggies pulled up. This depot would have been a very busy place in those early years as Drumright's oil development brought thousands of people to this town. Drumright was established in 1912 with the drilling of the Wheeler #1 well nearby.
